Commodore 24 Hour Challenge, Panama City FL
The Commodore 24 Hour Challenge is a timed endurance event held at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Florida. Participants run repeated one-mile laps and follow an event-specific timing rule that requires completing one mile every 30 minutes; laps must both start and finish within the same 30-minute segment. Missing a required mile on the official race timer results in disqualification. Participants may not "bank" miles. All runners complete the first and last lap together; relay teams share a single bib that is exchanged between teammates and must follow the same timing rules.
Distances:
- 48 mile SOLO
- 48 mile 2-person relay
The one-mile course begins at the college baseball field, travels west through the roundabout to the Military and Veterans Resource Center, follows the right side of the parking lot past Student Union West, then returns down the main parking lot to the baseball stadium. The course is USATF sanctioned.
Event details note a minimum age of 16 years for participants. The campus is pet free and that policy is enforced. Strollers and wagons are allowed but are required to start at the back of the pack. Certified running wheelchairs or adaptive devices can be accommodated with prior contact.
All registered runners receive a race shirt and a finishers medal. Registration fees are non-refundable; bib transfers to another runner are permitted within the event's posted transfer period. A shirt guarantee requires registration by October 1st. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
